Yevgenia And The Snow Dragon Lyrics

Far, far away where the snow is always falling
Lived a handsome fellow with his Lady fair
And there they loved in the forest
Deep within the mountains
Where the frosted moonbeams danced on frozen air

One day Yevgenia coming to his Lady
Found she was crying
Weeping and so wailing
"Oh, my Yevgenia", cried the lovely Lady
"I am so longing for one sight of Spring."

"But Spring does not come here nor does Brother Summer
Here ice and snow reign as icy kingdom Kings
The Snow Dragon watches over land and seaside
And death be to those who seek what Summer brings."

"But I am Yevgenia I go on forever
Searching for wildflowers for my Lady fair
And I am bringing flowers for my Lady
Lilies and Roses and Holly for her hair."

But he could not keep her from her mournful wailing
So, in the darkness he set out alone from home
And there he found the Dragon Sleeping in his chambers
Breathing the dreams of many a seasons snows

And drawing his helm axe with its edges blazing
He crept to the Dragon to sever off its head
The Snow Dragon, waking, rushed upon Yevgenia
And both were lost to sight in the swirling, snowy storm

When the storm had ended the Dragon lay beheaded
His blood running freely down upon the land
And, where the Dragon"s blood flowed
The snows were quickly melting
And there, for the first time, his icy kingdom fled

Soon there were Roses growing in the forests
Soon there were Lilies by the rushing streams
Soon, there was Holly dancing in the breezes
Winter had fled before Yevgenia"s dream

"And I am Yevgenia, I go on forever
Searching for wildflowers for my Lady fair
And I am bringing flowers for my Lady
Lilies and roses and Holly for her hair."
